Equal Representation in Colorado Districts Challenged
Plaintiffs contend three commissioner districts are unequal after 1960 census figures show populations of 71, 3,652 and 1,538. They seek redrawing to near equal populations, noting no changes in over two decades. Colorado law requires three compact districts as nearly equal as possible. WC says districts cannot be altered more than once every two years. Commissioners’ attorneys argue no duty to redraw and that redistricting is a legislative function with no court power to intervene. Nolaid’s ruling hinges on statutory wording and court jurisdiction.
